At Zūm, Users represent the payee for accounts payable, or the payer for accounts receivable. There are 3 ways of ingesting users, API, Portal, and Zūm Connect.
Zūm Rails recommends using Zūm Connect for the below reasons:
For EFT, it offers the end user the possibility to link his bank account, ensuring that the bank account information will be verified to avoid transaction failures.
For Credit Card and Visa Direct, it's required that we reduce your PCI scope.
For more information about Zūm Connect, .
Use this endpoint if you want to add a new user to your account. For Credit Card and Visa Direct, if you want to add a user through API, please contact Zūm support.
